Prepared using 100% Arabica beans sourced from ethically farmed regions, it is known for its smooth taste and consistent quality.

It is a widely consumed beverage across various cultures and cuisines. McDonald's coffee stands out due to its accessibility and affordability, appealing to a broad demographic. However, its caloric and nutritional values can significantly vary based on customization, such as added milk, flavors, or sugars.
